Have you ever played a mapset where the levels are just a piece of crap deserving of 0 or 1 stars BUT there is a level (or two) in the wad that is truly outstanding/legendary? I think these levels should be honored this year. If Monochrome Mapping does not win a cacoward, I would like to nominate Map 21 for this new reward.

If possible, I'd like to replace my nomination for Monochrome with one for Hellbound. Hellbound is too legendary to be passed; and I'm pretty sure it's going to get a cacoward even without this nomination but better to be safe than sorry.

+1 HB
-1 Monochrome (however, I would like to nominate map 21 for the "Secret Level" cacoward if we can make it)

I'm not sure if this is eligible or not, but I vote for Going Down E1 by Mouldy. I'd be perfectly fine if he decided to not make any more maps for this either way, considering how cool it already is. :P

For me, there was a lot of fun stuff this year, and I'd like to just mention and support my very preferred ones and the must winners:

ConC.E.R.N.Ed - cannonball's simple-yet-effective style is just something I admire.Pirate Doom - Hilarious sprite edits and fun gameplay, I kept smiling at it.Fuel Devourer - Awe-inspiring.Unholy Realms - Very skillfully crafted maps by all possible aspects.Doom 2 The Way id Did - I actually disliked DTWiD (felt very "artificial"), but was really impressed by this, even though it sometimes felt "artificial" too. Maybe it's my deep-rooted adoration for Doom 2. :)Forsaken Overlook - Looking gorgeous, and while I can't properly play it due to high difficulty, I can confirm that the gameplay part is crafted greatly as well.Back To Saturn X - Great level set, great textures and music.

Extreme Weapon Pack for Mockaward. Or possibly also the Best Gameplay Mod :). Because all other gameplay mods out there have their weak points, while this one's made its own weak points into the strong ones.

EDIT:

Memfis for mapper of the year, since he constantly keeps coming with his small pieces, none of which was ever disappointing. All were nice and fun. I just have to say it, even though the general perception of "Mapper of the year" award may be different.

EDIT2:

I forgot to mention BTSX, added. Did I forget it counts as a this year's release?
